What if a handful of pebbles could change the way two children see each other?
While the other children play together, Olo quietly collects pebbles along the shore. To many, they seem ordinary. To Olo, each one is unique.
One day, another child stops, sits beside him, and begins to see the pebbles through Olo's eyes. What starts as a simple shared moment grows into a genuine friendship, showing that understanding often begins with curiosity.
Created by special education teacher Elena Barbagallo, Olo and the Pebbles is a gentle picture book that celebrates friendship, empathy, and the many wonderful ways of seeing and experiencing the world.
Perfect for children ages 4-9, families, educators, and classrooms. An ideal read-aloud that encourages curiosity, empathy, and meaningful conversations.
